Sorry to bore everyone. I love to see wildlife, especially in the big city, and I don’t like it when people treat it poorly. We’ve had three bears come through the city in the last four years. I was surprised that none of them were shot by citizens.

When I lived in Boulder I went on a run one lunchtime and saw a deer. Upon coming back I mentioned it on the internal chat client; a Texas A&M grad I worked with asked if I shot it.
I hate A&M.

And in MTB news, my hacked together rear tubeless setup gave up the ghost today on a compression.
Not as impressive as some burps I've seen but it was still a bit startling.

So the finger was coming along nicely. Getting feeling back, getting flexible. Then yesterday I stoved it. Inflammation and stiffness returned. And numbness. So I'm out in the woodshop trimming a board with the Japanese trim saw, and I put a nice cut into that finger before I felt it. Lots of blood. I'm feeling like it would have been better just to amputate it at the beginning. My wife likes the whole finger being there though. And I will eventually learn, I suppose. I suppose. Or I will cease working in the woodshop. I guess I will wear a glove on it henceforth. The best solution. The only solution really. Thanks for listening and letting me sort that out.
And now popcorn and The Two Towers with the wife

Saw two beavers by the river behind the Art Museum. Poor things we’re stressed out. One was on a snag of tree debris. The other was on dry land. Thinking their lodge got damaged by the flooding or they got washed a bit down stream. People getting close with phone cameras wasn’t helping. I suggested that people step back. No one listened.
Got some photos with my camera. Will try to post some tomorrow.

The bad thing about wearing a glove around machinery is the glove can get snagged and pull your hand in worse than if it was a bare hand. If you must wear a glove make it a strong leather glove.

Today I went for a short ride near yesterday's small-ish brush fire. Crews were mopping up hot spots but I saw no open flame, just some smoldering. At one point the fire jumped the freeway and the parallel 4 lane highway and lit up a group of oak trees. There were at least 30 men there working to cut apart these old oaks to extinguish them. Once the fire gets into the trees it can burn into the roots and flare up days later.

Yeah. It's just shocking. I'll hunt up the glove. I thought I was being careful. It gets really demoralizing. I don't want to have to go back to the hammock full time.
